I think it has many interesting consequences. The methods have only a few explicit dependencies required for compilation; they are not dependent on each other, they may be loaded and presented in any order, and the compilation is very fast. As I said, it may be comparable to having every small method in a single file. With such a setup, the code editor itself starts to lose its importance - everything on the level of notepad basically does its job. You need to focus more on the processing of the code as code objects graph. Not as a text file to edit, which may be an important shift in thinking. Incremental compilation is not related to that directly. And yes, you still need a way how to define classes which Smalltalk file-out format does do as simple do-its, which is not a fortunate solution for statical analysis of the given file.
